Lightly spray a 23cm-square slab cake pan with cooking oil spray.

Bring the water and salt to a boil in a large saucepan. Stir in polenta; cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes or until polenta thickens. Stir in mustard until combined; spread polenta into pan. Cover; refrigerate about 30 minutes or until firm.

Turn polenta onto board; cut into six rectangles. Heat large lightly-oiled frying pan; cook polenta, in batches, until browned both sides. Serve polenta cakes with corn salsa. Top with baby rocket if desired.
